Electrical Question - Flasher Control.

[Archer2]

I too have had dealings with Charlie Fisher at Spartan and can affirm that if every companies' customer support were as good as this guy does the Better Business Bureau would be out of business. He is that good.

I wanted to check back in on this thread and let everyone know how I made out with the light issue.
You will recall my left turn signal and body side marker lights where intermittently flashing, causing other ghost problems like flashing marker lights.

I have spent the last couple of days going front to back following wire harnesses, cleaning chassis grounds, starter, solenoid, Spartan Control Module, cannon plugs and so on and so on......I could not find the fault.

This evening I returned to the bulb in question, when I removed it from the lense casing the lights worked normally for a split second! Upon removal of the bulb I could see that one of the locking tabs had been damaged. It was allowing the bulb to rotate past the locked position and was creating a short between the parking lights and the turn signals.

WOW!

I feel stupid, here I thought I had some significant issue and low and behold it was just a bulb.

Moral of the story, when all else fails go back to the start!



Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the follow up Adam, you posted some good info for others as to the fault and light bulb, the lamp holders are a problem because of corrosion as a coach ages and vibrations from road surfaces causing the bulb to turn in its holder if it was over turned when install originally.
Thank for the thread.
